Explain how and why many western nations supported israel in the formation a new jewish homeland.

The creation of the State of Israel, as said, occurred in 1948, but the process of forming Jewish communities in the Palestinian region dates back to the last decades of the 19th century, when the Zionist movement was created. Zionism, or Zionist movement, was created by Jewish intellectuals in the early 1890s and had as its main objective the fight against anti-Semitism (aversion to the Jewish people that spread around the world after the dissolution of the ancient Jewish kingdoms in the Ancient Age), which it had persisted in Europe since the Middle Ages and had intensified in the 19th century.

Zionists, like Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), preached the return of the Jews to their region of origin, Palestine (the “promised land”), in order to form a modern state there in the mold of Western nations as a way of self-determination of Jewish people. A constituted state would bring them, in addition to political legitimacy, their own means for the basic exercise of sovereignty and citizenship, such as military defense and the guarantee of fundamental rights.

A fact that contributed to stimulate the idea of the formation of a Jewish state in Palestine was the so-called Dreyfus case, a conspiracy by French Army officers against Alfred Dreyfus, who was also an official of that same institution. Dreyfus was unjustly accused by his colleagues of providing information from the French intelligence to authorities of the German Army, archrival of France at the time. Theodor Herzl, who was a journalist, with the writer Émile Zola, incurred the public defense of Dreyfus on the pages of newspapers of that period, denouncing the frauds of the accusations and making explicit the anti-Semitism that spread in Europe.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
